Reservoir Dogs Page #6

---

Mr. Pink is hauling ass down a busy city sidewalk. He has

a canvas bag with a shoulder strap in one hand, and a .357

MAGNUM in the other. If any BYSTANDERS get in his way, he

just knocks them down. We DOLLY at the same speed, right

along side of him.

FOUR POLICEMEN are running after Mr. Pink. We DOLLY with

them.

We DOLLY with a young woman on roller skates. ROLLERGIRL

is plugged into a walkman. We hear the song she's

listening to LOUD over the SOUNDTRACK. She's twirling and

skating backwards to the beat of the song.

Rollergirl turns a corner and COLLIDES with Mr. Pink. The

man and woman CRASH to the ground.

Mr. Pink rolls into the street, in front of a moving car

that SCREECHES to a stop, narrowly avoiding running over

him.

7 INT. CAR (STOPPED) - DAY

The CAMERA is in the backseat. A SHOCKED WOMAN is the

car's driver. Mr. Pink pulls himself up from the hood,

shakes it off, and points his magnum at the driver.

MR. PINK

Get outta the car! Get the f***

outta the car!

The Shocked Woman starts screaming.

Mr. Pink tries to open the driver's side door, but it's

locked.

MR. PINK

Open the f***ing door!

EXTREME C.U. DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW

Mr. Pink SMASHES it in our face.

8 EXT. STREET - DAY

DOLLY with Cops coming up fast.

Mr. Pink DRAGS the Shocked Woman out of the car.

The Cops reach the corner, guns aimed.

Using the car as a shield, Mr. Pink FIRES three shots at

the Cops.

Everybody HITS the ground, or scatters.

Mr. Pink HOPS in the car.

Cops FIRE.

9 INT. CAR (MOVING) - DAY

CAMERA in the backseat, Mr. Pink FLOORS it. SPEEDING down

the street, with the Cops FIRING after him.

BACK TO:

10 INT. BATHROOM - DAY

Mr. Pink and Mr. White still talking in the bathroom.

MR. PINK

Tagged a couple of cops. Did you

kill anybody?

MR. WHITE

A few cops.

MR. PINK

No real people?

MR. WHITE

Uh-uh, just cops.

MR. PINK

Could you believe Mr. Blonde?

MR. WHITE

That was one of the most insane

f***ing things I've ever seen.

Why the f*** would Joe hire

somebody like that?

MR. PINK

I don't wanna kill anybody. But

if I gotta get out that door, and

you're standing in my way, one way

of the other, you're gettin outta

my way.

MR. WHITE

That's the way I look at it. A

choice between doin ten years, and

takin out some stupid

motherf***er, ain't no choice at

all. But I ain't no madman

either. What the f*** was Joe

thinkin? You can't work with a

guy like that. That mother-

f***er's unstable. What do you

think? Do you think he panicked,

or ya think he's just trigger-

happy?

MR. PINK

I think he's a sick f***in maniac!

We're awful goddamn lucky he

didn't tag us, when

he shot up the place. I came this

f***ing close--

(hold up two fingers

and makes a tiny

space between them)

--to taking his ass out myself.

Everybody panics. When things get

tense, everybody panics.

Everybody. I don't care what your

name is, you can't help it. It's

human nature. But ya panic on the

inside.

Ya panic in your head. Ya give

yourself a couple a seconds of

panic, then you get a grip and

deal with the situation. What you

don't do, is shoot up the place

and kill everybody.

MR. WHITE

What you're supposed to do is act

like a f***in professional. A

psychopath is not a professional.

You can't work with a psychopath,

'cause ya don't know what those

sick a**holes are gonna do next.

I mean, Jesus Christ, how old do

you think that black girl was?

Twenty, maybe twenty-one?

MR. PINK

Did ya see what happened to

anybody else?

MR. WHITE

Me and Mr. Orange jumped in the

car and Mr. Brown floored it.

After that, I don't know what went

down.

MR. PINK

At that point it became every man

for himself. As far as Mr. Blonde

or Mr. Blue are concerned, I ain't

got the foggiest. Once

I got out, I never looked back.

MR. WHITE

What do you think?

MR. PINK

What do I think? I think the cops

caught them, or killed 'em.

MR. WHITE

Not even a chance they punched

through? You found a hole.

MR. PINK

Yeah, and that was a f***ing

miracle. But if they did get

away, where the f*** are they?

MR. WHITE

You don't think it's possible, one

of them got ahold of the diamonds

and pulled a--

MR. PINK

Nope.

MR. WHITE

How can you be so sure?

MR. PINK

I got the diamonds.

MR. WHITE

Where?

MR. PINK

I got 'em, all right?

MR. WHITE

Where? Are they out in the car?

MR. PINK

No, they're not in the car. No, I

don't have them on me. Ya wanna

go with me and get 'em? Yes, we

can go right now. But first

listen to what I'm telling you.

We were f***in set up! Somebody

is in league with the cops. We

got a Judas in our midst. And I'm

thinkin we should have our f***in

heads examined for waiting around

here.
